Darling will be in the crease in Friday's game against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Darling has been solid in limited action this season, posting a 4-3-2 record with a 2.60 GAA and .909 save percentage in 10 appearances. He'll look to pick up his fifth win of the season Friday in a favorable matchup with a Toronto club that has lost three consecutive games, failing to score more than one goal in each of those defeats.

Darling made 17 of 18 saves in a 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Although this was just his tenth appearance of the season, it was Darling's second in four games -- both of which amounted to wins. Aside from a second-period power-play marker by Evgeni Malkin, Darling was perfect in securing the second victory for the Hawks in as many nights against the Penguins. Darling is now 4-3-2 with a .909 save percentage and 2.60 GAA and makes for a serviceable spot-start option in the rare occurrences he gives workhorse Corey Crawford a night off.

EDGE Analysis

Darling has been decent in limited action this season, posting a 3-3-2 record with a 2.79 GAA and .907 save percentage in nine appearances. The 27-year-old netminder has only made two of those appearances at home, however, and fared much better in those contests, posting a 2-0-0 record with an impressive 1.00 GAA and .964 save percentage. Although the Penguins have been better of late, Wednesday's matchup is still a favorable one for Darling, as Pittsburgh has only averaged 2.36 goals per game this season, 24th in the NHL.

Darling stopped 27 of 30 shots in Thursday's overtime win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Darling was making his first appearance since Dec.10, as the 27-year-old doesn't see much action behind workhorse Corey Crawford. With the win, Darling advances to 3-3-2 on the season with a .907 save percentage. He's only made nine appearances this year, but he's a talented enough goaltender to be used as a reliable spot start whenever Crawford gets a rest.

Darling will get the start between the pipes Thursday against the Avalanche, Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a long time between starts for Darling behind Corey Crawford, but he'll look to knock off the rust sand earn his third victory of the season Thursday against an Avalanche club scoring 2.69 goals per game in December.

Darling stopped 29 of 33 shots in Thursday's loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago could only score one goal for Darling, who falls to 2-3-2 on the season. While he's lost three straight games, he's played fairly well thus far, sporting a .908 save percentage. Corey Crawford is having another great season and is a workhorse, but Darling makes for a reliable spot start whenever he's called upon. Don't let this one rough outing turn you off from the solid backup netminder.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Darling posted a solid performance last time out, setting aside 35 of the 37 shots he faced in the contest to lower his season GAA to 2.51 and save percentage to .912.
